Robotic Soave pull-through procedure for Hirschsprung's disease in children under 12-months: long-term outcomes.
Observational study in Pediatric surgery international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo describe the long-term outcomes of the robotic Soave pull-through (RSPT) procedure for Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) in children younger than 12 months.
methodsA prospective observational study was conducted on HSCR patients under 12 months of age who underwent RSPT at our institution between 2011 and 2020. Data regarding demographics, clinical features, technical details, operative time, hospital stay, postoperative complications, and long-term outcomes were prospectively collected.
resultsA total of 15 patients (9 male; 6 female) were included, with a median age at surgery of 4 months (interquartile range 3-6), and a mean weight of 6.8 ± 1.3 kg. Twelve patients suffered from rectosigmoid aganglionosis and three from long HSCR (extending up to the hepatic flexure). The mean total operative time was 240 ± 72 min. The median hospital stay was 3 days (interquartile range 3-4). Partial anastomosis dehiscence was observed in one patient, requiring reoperation on the 4th postoperative day. With a median follow-up of 79 months (interquartile range 45-115), no fecal incontinence or mild soiling were observed. Constipation occurred in two patients and mild enterocolitis in one case.
conclusionRSPT procedure for Hirschsprung's disease in children younger than 12 months is a safe and effective procedure, with few complications and satisfactory long-term continence outcomes.
